As any Bob Dylan could tell you, he is not to be trusted. Especially not in matters of love.
That point gets proven in this film noir homage that's as retro, and unexpected, as this cover of "The Night We Called It a Day" off his Frank Sinatra tribute album, Shadows In The Night.
Zooey Deschanel is dancing with an invisible man. M. Ward is playing with invisible instruments. Together they make a haunting sound that's captured in a practically perfect video that deserves a place on the mantle next to "Chandelier" as one the Best of the Year.
Welcome to Fall Fest, as hosted by Pharrell Williams, Daft Punk and film director Edgar Wright. Despite the intergallactic leanings of all involved, things are kept fairly natural as they pay homage to the breeziest element. That's not to say they entirely stay earthbound: We have a troupe of ribbon dancers who could have blown in from the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon remake and the (forgive the pun, please) very rocking Daft Punk cameo takes flight as well.
It's likely impossible for Pharrell Williams and Miley Cyrus to make a video that's not sexy on some level — we're talking about the people responsible for "Blurred Lines" and "We Can't Stop," respectively — but "Come Get It Bae" is more like a high-energy version of John Legend's "You And I" video, celebrating all the many "flavors" of women with a perfect edit and a even a little handheld Bolex
The secret to his happiness might be the hat. Or, maybe it's allowing himself to dream all day and all night about beautiful women. Lucky for Pharrell, he's got the means to fill his video with girls girls girls and lots of surreal style via elaborate set-pieces orchestrated by Luis Cerveró (of CANADA fame).
You feel great music in your naughty bits. Perhaps starting as a tingle, but then throbbing violently out of control.
Such is the case in this balls-out amazing "Turn Down For What" video, which starts as a dance and devolves into an insane battle of boobs, butts and other junk.
We glide forward with the momentum of "Seven Nation Army" along a "Lost Highway," but with a noir vibe all its own and a centerpiece that makes clear that neither Cults member will be able to get back where they began.
